the supreme court will have to be called m to interpret it senate goes through most sensational session m years aldrich and dixon are charged with betrayal as originally drawn the railroad bill contained no long and short haul clause and none was desired by the president or the framers of the bill long and short haul clause proposed by representative madden and adopted by the house is that immediately upon the passage and approval of the bill there shall not be a greater charge for a short haul than for a long haul ex cept by consent of the interstate com mission senate clause adopted to-day pro vides tl tt present rates shall be effect ive six mouths after that upon com plaint and full hearing by both sides the interstate commerce commission may hold that charge for short haul shall not exceed charge for long haul both the house and senate provisions will be considered when the senate passes the bill and it goes to conference washington d c may l3 by a vote of 57 to 10 the senate this after noon adopted modified form of tha dixon long and short haul amendment to the railroad bill the amendment repre sents the combined efforts of republicans democrats and insurgent leaders and it is significant that senator aldrich de fended it on the floor and cast his vote ln its favor the consensus of opinion to-night is that the amendment is contradictory m it terms and defeats â€¢ its own purpose or if this is not so that it burdens the interstate commerce commission with an impossible task senator aldrich gave a practical assurance that he would not seek to have the amendment defeated m con ference twitted after the vote by senator bacon for having surrendered to the demand for v long and short haul clause the rhoda island senator declared impressively he

foi special cases i r i the dixon amendment continued then to ! provide that m special cases after in vestigation the commission might author ise a less charge for a long than for a short haul in

ascertain that the circum stances and conditions of the longer haul nre dissimilar to the circumstances and conditions of the shorter hnul whether they result from competition by water or rail then it may authorize a common car rier to charge less for the longer than for the shorter distances for the transporta tion of passengers or property but m no event shall the authority be granted unless the
